The Grief Project
The Grief Project
Description:
This work in development explored the spectrum of grief. The way grief feels, what it looks like, how it can present and the strange journey through it. The work experimented with the integration of text, puppetry, film and still photography.
Sometimes when you breathe you can’t see things move
I used to hold my breath
I used to…
But I don’t anymore…
There was a long time between breaths
